Of course, in the Citizen’s camp again aspire to regain domination in
matches with the Spurs, especially because they will play at home where
they have achieved this season the maximal effect in the Premier
League. Coach Pellegrini players have won all five matches played at
home, but have brought only four points from six away matches and at
this point are just eighth in the standings. In the last round were
unexpectedly defeated away by Sunderland, which ruined an excellent
series of three consecutive victories; in the League Cup, where they
qualified for the quarter-finals, then in the championship against
Norwich and in the Champions League against CSKA Moscow, with which have
definitely verified their place in the knockout phase.

It should
be stressed that the Citizens at the moment are by far the most
efficient team of the Premier League with even 28 scored goals for which
the greatest merit certainly goes to great Aguero. Besides him Negredo
stabilised in the top of the attack in recent time. Regarding the rest
of the team, a lot of changes are expected in the defence and midfield
after a blunder in Sunderland. We should add that are still questionable
unrecovered stopper Kompany, midfielders Silva and attackers Jovetic.

Tottenham Hotspur team are currently sitting seventh in the table with 20 points from
six wins, two draws and three defeats. Away from home they lost 1-0 at
Arsenal earlier in the season which is the only time their defence has
been breached in five Premier League road trips. Other away results
comprise of wins at Palace (1-0), Cardiff (1-0) and Villa (2-0) and a
0-0 draw at Everton.
With just nine league goals in 11 games Spurs are starting to become
frustrating and, because of this, Adebayor could make his first
appearance of the season against old club Manchester City. Eriksen
sustained an ankle injury on international duty with Denmark and will be
out for around 4 weeks. while while Danny Rose remains sidelined.
Fryers and Chadli have recovered from their respective troubles and also
Hugo Lloris is fit to return in goal.
